Matthew W. Arndt

Matthew William Arndt, age 44, of Sherwood, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday morning, August 11, 2019 while walking the family dog in High Cliff State Park. He was born on July 15, 1975 in Neenah, to William and Genevieve (Niebauer) Arndt of Hilbert, and married Jessica J. (Fryman) on his 30th birthday, July 15, 2005.

Matt was employed as a Technical Support Team Leader with the Bemis Company. He was previously employed at IVenture Solutions in Orlando, Oshkosh Corp in Oshkosh, and Coating-Excellence International in Wrightstown, where he made numerous life-long friends along the way.

Matt was an alumnus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and a MBA graduate from University of Phoenix. He always enjoyed his annual Lake Erie fishing trips and countless other outdoor adventures with his father, family and many friends. Sports were a big passion for Matt – he looked forward to all the fun he had every fall participating in his fantasy football groups with many of his long-time high school and college friends. Most of all, Matt loved spending time with his sons — he coached their various sports teams; he encouraged them to progress in their abilities and love of the games. Matt's uncanny wit, unmatched humor and infectious laughter will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Matt is survived by his loving wife Jessica and their three sons: Ethan, Mitchell and Roman; his parents: Bill and Gen Arndt; a sister: Shellie (Joe) Milheiser and their children Emillie, Lucas and Nicholas; his in-laws: Phil and Kathy Fryman; a sister-in law: Carrie (Aaron) Siebers; a brother-in law Andrew (Amy) Fryman and their children Cade and Riley. He is further survived by many, many, more relatives and friends, all of whom he loved and touched deeply. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents: Herman and Jane Niebauer, his paternal grandparents: Robert and Phyllis Arndt, and an uncle: Brian Niebauer.
